Anchor Watch at Sunrise

Grace Crew

Grace at the Dock

Raising Sail

Many of the students found that teamwork was not only desirable, but essential, when living on board a ship!

Horizon through the Ratlines

ItÂ´s amazing how even the most commonplace things can become beautiful.

ItÂ´s not that heavy!

A slightly exaggerated impression of the excessive weight of my bag! I just like to be prepared!

John the Bosun - Mug Up

John inspired the students to great vocal achievements. A favourite song this year: "Those Were The Days".

Juice, Anyone?

As always, we were impressed with the food that was produced in what seemed to be a tiny space!

Pacific Swift at Dusk

This may actually be a sunrise - I canÂ´t remember now! Suffice it to say that she makes a very pretty picture.

Swift Anchoring under Sail

The Swift coming in to Beaver Harbour to anchor under sail.

Not sure where this is, but weÂ´re motoring up through desolation sound or maybe even further north.

Same as before, still motoring. ItÂ´s pretty cool looking with the islands fading off into the horizon.

Image #395

We were anchored one night and this ancient mariner came to say how nice the swift looked. He lived in a hut nearby.

Image #396

Beating up a channel against the tide, and, obviously the wind too.

Just some more scenery.

Image #401

Motoring into some waves! It took a few tries to actually get a photo of some spray though.

Image #402

What better to do on a sunny morning than hang someone by the outhaul and use the funnelators (slingshots constructed with surgical tubing and a funnel!) to launch old popcorn at him.
